COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 4,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq:
AEP) is one of six companies to earn the JUST Jobs Leader
designation on the JUST Jobs Scorecard released today. The JUST
Jobs Scorecard is a new, data-driven tool that helps companies
prioritize investments in their employees.
The scorecard helps corporate leaders assess job quality
performance based on 31 data points in six key topic areas:
benefits, employee wellness, hiring and stability, training and
development, wages and compensation, and workforce composition. It
also helps companies visualize their performance, compare data
against other companies and see where there is room to improve.
"Investing in our employees is a top priority, and it's an honor
to be named as a leader on the new JUST Jobs Scorecard," said
Phil Ulrich, AEP's chief human
resources officer. "We take pride in knowing we are a top
performing company, and we will continue to provide opportunities
for our employees to advance in a safe working environment."
Additionally, AEP earned a maximum score of 4 in two topic
areas, employee wellness and training and development, and was
named a top performer in those categories. Employee wellness data
points include health and safety management systems, total
recordable incident rate, employee satisfaction survey disclosure,
anti-harassment training and discrimination and harassment
grievance mechanism. Training and development includes measures for
the average hours of training or career development employees
receive per year, tuition reimbursement opportunities and
apprenticeship programs.
